"Furiosa" features Anya Taylor-Joy as young Imperator Furiosa. The character was first introduced in the 2015 movie, portrayed by Charlize Theron.
Theron's character was introduced maneuvering a massive War Rig as one of the antagonist's lieutenants, sent out to retrieve the coveted gasoline.
Instead, she is harboring five of Immortan Joe's wives in an attempt to flee his Citadel. It's Furiosa's actions that launch Fury Road into a high-speed pursuit across the Wasteland where they encounter a clan of women, the Vuvalini. The women recognize Furiosa and explain to her that she was kidnapped from them as a child.
Max (played by Tom Hardy) convinces Furiosa and the clan of women to return to the Citadel and fight for a claim over the people and resources.
“Furiosa” to hit theaters on May 27, 2024.
